  • Patent number: 11238249
    Abstract: Methods and devices for providing access to identity information stored in an electronic chip in a system where a unique animalis tagged with an electronic chip and provided with a transponder configured to be able to read the electronic chip. The transponder stores the identity read from the chip in local memory and responds to information request messages by broadcasting the read identity as a beacon signal. The information request message is typically received from an authorized device, while the response beacon signal may be received by any device capable of receiving beacon signals. The identity code received as part of the beacon signal can be used by the receiving device to request access to information relating to the unique animal from a remote device. In some embodiments, the remote device may be equipment such as an electronically controlled gate, or a dispenser of animal food.

  • Patent number: 9390606
    Abstract: A system for monitoring of an object. The system includes a communication unit in proximity to the object, the communication unit including an electrical energy supply, a reader, and a radio station configured to communicate with a terminal over a communication network. The system also includes an ID unit coupled to the object. The ID unit has a unique ID and contains a receiver and a transmitter configured to transmit the unique ID in response to receiving an incoming signal from the reader. The system further includes an alarm circuit coupled to the reader and the radio station. The alarm circuit is configured to trigger an alarm if the reader does not receive a response from the ID unit.
